I second that... You're saying you have a Yenko Deuce AND a 69 427 Yenko Nova that were both found in a pile of cars in a junkyard? And they're in your posession now, covered up with tarps? Are these cars that are on the published VIN lists? What color are they? Did you get them from the same yard? Sorry for so many questions, but i've never heard of these cars existance...

Seems like this thread loops. There are posts from page one here on page 19!

I bought a 68 442 from the original owner, numbers match, got the Protect-O-Plate and even found a broadcast sheet. Being a Canadian car it can be even documented through GM Vintage Vehicle Services. As much as it pained me, I parted it out. It came from Ontario, and the salt really did a number on it. It needed sheetmetal (except the firewall) and even the frame had nasty rot. Am I nuts? I'd like to think not. My older brother (he's an a--hole) suggested that we grab a nicely restored IDENTICAL local twin - it was even the correct green w/blk vinyl roof. I still had the motor/trans, how hard would it have been? BTW, I still have the tags, but I've stamped XXXXXX over the last digits.

Mike , Joe as you both well know its the cold time of season for us east coasters it would take an act of congress to get to them to take some pics right now as soon as i get some stuff moved out of the way ill post the pics for you to see
Joe these cars do exist and they are on the vin lists thats the only way i know what they are because there is nothing left to ID them by visuall at least,these cars were found by me while i was looking for a few parts for my fathers 54 caddy,we have always had novas in the family we currently have 6 total from restored to full race so when i saw them i was inclined to look and see if there was anything left i could ad to my collection i wrote down the vin's and started to check them out and see what they might have been in there heyday and i found out alot more than i ever dreamed of

anyways one car was found a mile off the road in the back of an old junkyard about 30min from VA and the other car came from just east of cumberland ive been trying to get these cars for over 3 years and the owners of the junk yards wouldnt sell them for the longest time and i finally got them to sell so i bought both of them about a year apart
im not sure of the color of the 69 car the trim tag was smashed pretty bad in the accident that sent it to the bone yard in the first place but the 70 was red i believe with black interior
i know its kind of hard to believe and trust me i would have to wonder if someone else had told me the story but i swear it to be true
David

David W... I don't know what the weather is like in Maryland, but here in PA a digital camera will work just fine in the cold. It's actually supposed to be in the 50s today...How about working on getting some pics of these cars? I think there are more than 2 of us that are anxious to see them.

Yes, it is a beautiful day in NJ. How about just providing the VINs so we all know a little more about your cars.
